contains the testimonies of many witnesses to supernatural encounters in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Wales, from abductions by fairies, and appearances of ghosts, devils and witches, to poltergeist activity. The stories here evoke a spiritually dark landscape in which the malevolent dead and damned wander, and present a fascinating insight into how the eighteenth-century visualized the spirit world.
This new edition presents Jones’s narratives in an up-dated and accessible form. John Harvey has collated Jones’s second book of apparitions, published in 1780, along with the text of an earlier but now lost volume on the same subject, and material from Jones’s 1779 study of the parish of Aberystwyth. Together they represent the most comprehensive compilation of Jones’s relations of apparitions ever before published.
